well it is not that i am lazy or afraid to use my fingers LOL but many years of use, and how many do i have left in them? and nevermind
the cutting hazards of this type of work. just trying to preserve my hands( i ALWAYS take good care of them) and avoid any cuts. CF and sheetmetal
can be like working with machete's sometimes. and thanks for the other ideas as well.

Good Idea! Spoons.
I suppose a round nosed butter knife would be useful too. I am going to check the kitchen drawer when my wife is out! Who knows how many fillet tools are in there.

Hi Brasco
I have seen these tools before. It reminds me to get busy and make my own. I had planned to weld some different sized ball bearings on some stainless rod.

For many people DIY filleting tools are just as effective. A tile grout smoothing tool or similar is popular as often they have a ball on one end as well as sharper edges for finer work.
For many, the easiest tool is the end of a finger!!! It might not be so precise but for most it is plenty good enough.
